Not too impressed with your own ideas, Edith. Re 'no-harm': three characters longer than 'safe' (one of which is a redundant hyphen). Also 'humans' sounds really weird in context (= men of planet Earth)

: Some people say non-harmful, but it means exactly the same

tolerability in humans
Möglicherweise genügt "tolerability" allein, da der Kontext deutlich macht, dass es sich um die Versorgung von Menschen handelt.

: "in" doesn't seem the right preposition for things like surgical instruments that are going to be used with/on people but aren't going to be ingested or left inside them

biocompatibility
When a material is selected for a medical device, biocompatibility is one of the first things considered. In a broad sense, biocompatibility is defined as having properties that make a material or a device compatible with the human body. For example, an indwelling catheter that does not trigger blood clotting or another thrombogenic reaction as a result of its contact with the bloodstream is considered to be biocompatible.
Suture materials that are able to support tissue healing without triggering an inflammatory response, and other long-term implements constructed in a way that does not interfere with the body’s normal functions, are also considered to be biocompatible.
http://www.medicaldevice-network.com/features/feature106580/
The standards for evaluating the biocompatibility of medical devices is detailed in ISO 10993.
For conventional products, packaging technologists would explore the potential interaction between the product and its container. Common tests include leaching from plastics or adhesives on labels into the product, softening of containers through additives in plastics that may cause degeneration of the container, thus losing its protective function or degrading the active ingredient or creating harmful byproducts. - See more at: http://www.contractpharma.com/issues/2013-03/view_ask-the-ex...

"biocompatibilty" finde ich eigentlich nicht übermäßig kompliziert, und die 2. Referenz beschreibt recht genau, was hier gefragt ist

: Humans (can) tolerate it! :-) Verträglichkeit in medicinal texts is usually 'tolerance', I find your solution quite tolerable.

utility for human use
How easy a human can use its characteristics.
(How user-friendly it is in IT speak.)
